About

Colorsysplus is a extension of the standard colorsys module. It provides RGB conversion functions for

  • hexadecimal color codes
  • CMYK
  • terminal and ANSI colors (ANSI to RGB is incomplete)
  • Xonotic color codes
  • visible wavelengths (only wavelength to RGB is supported)

The module is a receptacle for color conversion functions that I frequently found myself copying or rewriting. I will continue to add to it and improve it. If you have suggestions of what to include, please let me know.

Usage

The source code is reasonably documented and straight-forward. The default main routine provides a simple example of converting HSV values to the nearest ANSI escape codes.

Additional Modules

ColorizedText

The package also includes the ColorizedText module that provides a class of the same name for working with colorized text. Text is stored as a list of chunks with associated RGB values that can be easily manipulated in an output-agnostic way.

The class includes methods for converting to and from the following formats:

  • HTML
  • BBCode
  • ANSI1
  • Xonotic

It also includes some convenience functions for applying gradients of different types.

Acknowledgement

The code for retrieving RGB values for ANSI escape codes in the running terminal was adapted from code posted by Lux Perpetua on the Arch Linux forum

  • added ColorizedText module

  1. Only some ANSI escapes are currently recognized when attempting to parse an ANSI string. This functionality is provided by colorsys and improving it is on my TODO list.↩
